In this video I share with you my experience installing a Pioneer AVH-3400NEX radio in my 1995 Ford F-350 7.3L Diesel pickup truck. This is a great radio, and the easiest way to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into these older trucks. I learned a few things while doing this installation, so I thought I'd share them with you. The most peculiar of these have to do with the way the Ford radio harness is wired. The light switch which controls illumination on the radio is wired in parallel with the ignition switch. The effect on the Pioneer radio is that it makes the radio think your lights are on, even when they are not, and the radio will come up dimmed every time. So, you have to use a different source to tell the Pioneer radio that your lights are on. The second thing is that the radio is not powered when the ignition switch is moved to start. This causes the motorized screen to extend and then retract every time the truck is started. In this video I will show you how to add a simple circuit that keeps the radio powered during starting.
Here are some of the items I bought for this project:
